Yes…during Spring Break we were encountered with a …stalker? Yes, you heard me. Jonathan is so good looking and sweet that he has his first stalker. What a memorable occassion……….noooooot! It is, however, a blessing in disguise. Why you ask? Well, he quit his job (because she worked right next door and though she quit she knew where he works) and you think how is that  a blessing? Well, friends, he is staying home with Faith and we are saving daycare money :) The next thing is that we called our landlords  and told them the situation and they said if we gave them a police report, they would let us out of our lease. We found a house and thought it would be ready at the beginning of May, but yesterday, JOnathan calls to tell me we can move in….Sunday!!! Thank goodness we aren’t serving at church this Sunday! So, I would post pictures of the house, but you never know who is watching…mwahahahaha!!!

Tea Party is today…I’ll post pictures and update my 365 soon :)

So, I saw these on Etsy for like 120 dollars. I thought to myself, “SELF! You could do those and for A LOT cheaper!” So, I did. Faith loves these in her room! It didn’t take me very long, either :)

What’s next you ask? Well, I’m busy working on things for Faith’s tea party, but here it is:

She ran away two weeks ago…she is furry….she has green eyes….she purrs….she is orange….and she was missed by ALL of us. Give up?

012

Yes. At 4:30 am, Jonathan and I both up to weird sounds (and if you have heard about our craziness this week, you know we were both freaked out). Jonathan being the great husband that he is got up to check out the noises. All of a sudden, I heard “MEOW”. I walked into the kitchen to find my Gizmo standing there. We are so excited about having her back. Sure she made the house smelly at times or tore up stuff, but it hasn’t been the same w/o her. WE LOVE YOU GIZMO!!!!

]]> http://lifeaccordingtojenn.com/2009/03/guess-whos-baaaaaaaaaack/feed/ 0 “Hey baby, que paso?” http://lifeaccordingtojenn.com/2009/03/hey-baby-que-paso/ http://lifeaccordingtojenn.com/2009/03/hey-baby-que-paso/#comments Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:46:36 +0000 Jenn http://lifeaccordingtojenn.com/?p=154 So…back in January, we took Jonathan to Pappasito’s for his birthday. Since then, Faith has said she wanted to go there for her birthday and where the “big hat” and have them sing to her. She as far as remembering part of their birthday song, “Here at Pappasitos!” So, on Wednesday, we went to Pappasitos to celebrate her birthday a little early (and partake in the half price fajitas specials…isn’t funny how those two events just so HAPPEN to fall on the same day…weird). All through dinner, she was super excited…singing and dancing….couldn’t contain himself. So here are pictures in order of how it all went down:

004        005

She sees the guys coming and starts to rethink this WHOLE thing!

You need no explination of the rest of the pictures. Her face says it all :) Afterwards, she said it was just really loud. Happy Early Birthday, Faith!!

I told him I had JoAnn’s coupons to use and they ran out that day. His reaction was this:

017

Apparently, while in JoAnn’s, he texted Ryan and asked to be saved from this place called JoAnn’s. Then we were off to….the Teacher Store. Jonathan entered and again was texting, this time to inform Ryan that he was now in the teacher store. Ryan’s response…Brooke is heading there….ditch the woman and come on over. So, Brooke and I went to the Teacher store, back to JoAnn’s, Michael’s, Dollar Tree, and Hobby Lobby (which is where we found our jug that I mentioned in the previous post). We returned to find out that the girls were spending another night with my parents. So, we all hit up Golden Corral. It was super good. Then we headed to Half Price books, where I found The Rainbow Fish and The Rainbow Fish to the Rescue for 98 cents a piece!!! While we were there, though, Brooke and I were on one aisle while Ryan and Jonathan were on the other. All of a sudden we heard “BBBUUURRRPP!!” and the lady standing next to Brooke and I said, “That’s disgusting”. I looked at Brooke and said, “Hmmm..I wonder which husband that was…” and the lady replied, “Well, I know it’s not mine because I’m divorced”. I felt so bad. Then we saw the boys and told them about what that lady said. Jonathan’s reply? Lifting up his leg and farting. Yes, that is my husband!

Then on Sunday, we kinda ditched service to do what? MORE SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!! We headed to Lakeshore Learning. We were greeted with a HUGE table of clearance. The lady said that they usually only get a couple of shipments a year, but they had already received three or four…AND more stuff came in while we were still there!!! My end result was this:

007

The crowns are not mine, but for a co-worker. The lady even showed us a secret hallway with MORE STUFF! It was truly awesome! I can’t wait to go back to school…well…I can I guess :)

Then it was off to US TOYS. I love this store, too, because I’m always welcomed with clearance. We began looking through the boxes to find…yes…stuff for Faith’s tea party! Each item was like 90 cents. Then I found her tea set.

006

We ended our shopping spree weekend, headed to Rowlett to pick up the girls and visit my grandparents, and then my parents took us out to Furr’s for some good eatin’. What can I say? I’m a country girl!

A JUG! Not just any jug…a beautiful jug that will hold a endless list of beverages. Brooke and I were shopping at Hobby Lobby (I believe our last stop on Saturday) and something beautiful caught our eyes….a water jug that was huge and screaming our name. Jonathan and I had seen a similar jug at a party we went to and both decided we wanted one. Brooke said they had wanted one as well. Solution? We share the cost and the lovely jug. I am going to post a picture so you, too, can see it’s glory and beauty and just admire and worship it as we do!

So, this is what I made my mother in law for her birthday.

And this is what I made a co-worker for her daughter’s room.

Any encouragement would be GREAT!!!!
